We apply the theory of $\phi$-coordinated modules, developed by H.-S. Li, to the Etingof--Kazhdan quantum affine vertex algebra associated with the trigonometric $R$-matrix of type $A$. We prove, for a certain associate $\phi$ of the…
In [1], Nakatsu and Takasaki have shown that the melting crystal model behind the topological strings vertex provides a tau-function of the KP hierarchy after an appropriate time deformation. We revisit their derivation with a focus on the…
We develop a theory of $\phi$-coordinated (quasi) modules for a nonlocal vertex algebra and we establish a conceptual construction of nonlocal vertex algebras and their $\phi$-coordinated (quasi) modules, where $\phi$ is what we call an…
Let $C$ be a symmetrizable generalized Cartan Matrix, and $q$ an indeterminate. ${\fg}(C)$ is the Kac-Moody Lie algebra and $U=U_q({\fg}(C))$ the associated quantum enveloping algebra over $ k={\Bbb Q}(q)$. The quantum function algebra…

We consider the refined topological vertex of Iqbal et al, as a function of two parameters (x, y), and deform it by introducing Macdonald parameters (q, t), as in the work of Vuletic on plane partitions, to obtain 'a Macdonald refined…
We introduce the $h$-adic quantum vertex algebras associated with the trigonometric $R$-matrices in types $B$, $C$ and $D$, thus generalizing the well-known Etingof-Kazhdan construction in type $A$. We show that restricted modules for…
We study certain representations of quantum toroidal $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ algebra for $q=t$. We construct explicit bosonization of the Fock modules $\mathcal{F}_u^{(n',n)}$ with a nontrivial slope $n'/n$. As a vector space, it is naturally…
In this paper we study twisted traces of products of intertwining operators for quantum affine algebras. They are interesting special functions, depending on two weights lambda, mu, three scalar parameters q, omega, k, and spectral…
We consider the spin $k/2$ XXZ model in the antiferomagnetic regime using the free field realization of the quantum affine algebra $\uqa$ of level $k$. We give a free field realization of the type II $q$-vertex operator, which describes…
It is argued that singular vectors of the topological conformal (twisted $N=2$) algebra are identical with singular vectors of the $sl(2)$ Kac--Moody algebra. An arbitrary matter theory can be dressed by additional fields to make up a…
We give explicit formulas for the elements of the center of the completed quantum affine algebra in type $A$ at the critical level which are associated with the fundamental representations. We calculate the images of these elements under a…
We construct 2-representations of quantum affine algebras from 2-representations of quantum Heisenberg algebras. The main tool in this construction are categorical vertex operators, which are certain complexes in a Heisenberg…
These lecture notes are a brief introduction to Wess-Zumino-Witten models, and their current algebras, the affine Kac-Moody algebras. After reviewing the general background, we focus on the application of representation theory to the…
It has been proposed recently that topological A-model string amplitudes for toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds in non self-dual graviphoton background can be caluculated by a diagrammatic method that is called the ``refined topological vertex''. We…
Using free field representation of quantum affine algebra $U_q(\widehat{sl_2})$, we investigate the structure of the Fock modules over $U_q(\widehat{sl_2})$. The analisys is based on a $q$-analog of the BRST formalism given by Bernard and…
In [MT2] the Vafa-Witten theory of complex projective surfaces is lifted to oriented $\mathbb C^*$-equivariant cohomology theories. Here we study the K-theoretic refinement. It gives rational functions in $t^{1/2}$ invariant under…
We construct the twisted Fock module of quantum toroidal $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ algebra with a slope $n'/n$ using vertex operators of quantum affine $\mathfrak{gl}_n$. The proof is based on the $q$-wedge construction of an integrable level-one…
